Women's Fiction
The second of seven children (with another on the way),
Hallie Palmer has one dream: to make it to Vegas. Normally
blessed with an uncanny gift for winning at games of
chance, she’s just hit a losing streak. She’s been kicked
out of the casino she frequents during school hours, lost
all her money for a car on a bad bet at the track, and has
been grounded by her parents. Hallie decides the time as
come to cut her losses. Answering an ad in the local paper, she lands a job as yard
person at the elegant home of the sixty-ish Mrs. Olivia
Stockton, a wonderfully eccentric rebel who scribes
acclaimed poetry along with the occasional soft-core porn
story. Under the same wild roof is Olivia’s son, Bernard,
an antiques dealer and gourmet cook who turns out
mouthwatering cuisine and scathing witticisms, and Gil,
Bernard’s lover, whose down-to-earth sensibilities provide
a perfect foil to the Stocktons’ outrageous joie de vivre.
Here, in this anything-goes household, Hallie has found a
new family. And she’s about to receive the education of her
life.
